For the founders of ONEbean, it wasn't enough just to create a certified, fairtrade organic coffee -- they took their purpose-oriented business to the next level by not only giving a portion of coffee sales to charity, but by letting its customers choose the charities.
"The ONEbean Coffee Company helps non-profit and community organizations raise funds through coffee sales," the site says. "We support our business partners with long-term, easy to use fundraising strategies."
ONEbean coffee is as committed to quality beans and flavour as they are to supporting purpose-driven organizations. Part of the "ONEbean revolution" is empowering customers to contribute to causes that resonate with them.
"What makes ONEbean Coffee different from any other coffee company is that we will work with you as your reach for your goals," the site says. "We can customize marketing pieces to print and hand out, or email to your network of supporters. And our Coffeeworks program is unbeatable if you need to continue your fundraising effort for more than a few weeks."
The ONEbean Coffee Company, based in Surrey, BC, Canada, also has a Coffeeclub that delivers non-profit supporting coffee each month. ONEbean also offers a variety of product offerings including gift baskets, counterpacks (for schools, offices and retail), and coffee catering.
